Tuesdays’ trip.

When it became apparent that no roofers would be here (again) we decided to go out to lunch. Our first choice was the Suffolk Foodhall at Wherstead, with its panoramic views of the river Orwell. Watching yachts and ships pass by is so relaxing and the chance to spot a heron is always a treat. Of course, the notorious bridge is in the view too – spectacular in spite of its’ shortcomings. But it wasn’t to be. No tables available, it was fully booked unfortunately, so our default was John Lewis. My choice of Welsh Rarebit with ham hock didn’t disappoint and hubby chose Quiche with coleslaw and green salad. I’m a great fan of a leafy salad and ours usually has homegrown rocket, pea shoots, chives, basil and flat leaved parsley as well as whichever lettuce is ready to harvest. A good vinaigrette is a must too – of course I make my own. As we left we spotted Christmas trees and decorations so I had to take a look. I must confess to buying just a couple of things…. I know – it’s still only September, sorry 😉
